Is plugin applied automatically?

menda — Fri, 19 May 2023 06:10:54 GMT

Hi,

I have a question about applying the plugin.

Is newly added plugin or custom plugin applied automatically to the host where OneAgent is installed? Or is it applied when updating OneAgent?

Best Regards,

Masahiko Enda

Hello Masahiko,

As per the documentation you don't need to restart your JVM to enable plugins or make changes effective.

Based on this: https://dynatrace.github.io/plugin-sdk/readme.html...

It looks like the OneAgent service itself needs to be restarted to load the plugin but not any of the monitored applications as Babar said.
